These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nicole White-Samuels. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Nicole is an incredible listener. As well, she is always looking to provide tools and strategies for me to achieve better outcomes for myself. I appreciate her consistency and focus on my needs during difficult times. Even when I'm not my own advocate, she has been. Nicole has been empathetic when necessary, but also tough on me when I'm unable to see past my biases and damaging patterns. I could not recommend her more strenuously.

I was matched with Nicole while I was in a bad place and Nicole listened to me & helped me understand and uncover all the issues I was currently facing and deal with them with time.
For that I am thankful!

Nicole was a great counselor! She asked thought provoking questions and listened carefully to what I had to say. She was also very caring and showed concern about my well being. Nicole provided helpful tools to get me through the challenges I faced. Overall, I would recommend!

Nicole has helped me almost completely rid me of my anxiety only after a couple sessions through the techniques she has taught me to prevent my panic attacks. She also has taught me strategies to calm myself down while I am having them as well. I appreciate how she is a great listener and has taught me to experience a higher quality of life and overall mental health! Thanks, again.
